Unforgettable Trip!
I had an incredible time on this Liveaboard! The crew were amazing and so much fun! Thanks to Luca, Fandee and everyone else that helped make this a great experience! The dives were fantastic, well organized and I always felt very safe. The boat was a great place to chill between dives, the extra activities well paced and the food was delicious. I really loved the intimate feeling of a small group and we all had a blast. I can’t wait to come back and do it again!

Best of the liveaboard i ever experienced
This trip is reallllly amazing. For Most of the important thing is that in thIS boat u can use a price less than in land but had a better experience. BELIEVE ME. As a economical liveaboard ，The boat is big and only 10 guest for 1 shared cabin and 2 double room. The equipment area is located on the both side of the boat with dining area in the middle. Under the dining area is shared cabin and for above the dining area is a deck that u can get a sun bath. And then for the same deck is captain room and crew room and then is and area with sofa recliner under the fabric of preventing sunshine. So both who love sunshine or not can find there relaxed area. The dive guide is kind and experienced ，and everydive can make a more than 60min dive. They were very responsible for their work without any impatience. The itinerary is very full with not only diving but land tour such as seeking for komodo dragon in rinca island. Hiking to gili lawa mount to watch the sunset. Go to watch the Bat sunset in karong island. The value of these activity is far more than its price. The food. Trust me. I don't like Indonesian food but the chef can make it still delicious for me ，A Chinese person with a discerning palate. The crew is willing to solve all ur problem at anytime. So i give them tips in the end and separated some crews. They make me impressive and really friendly. For the shotcoming ， for the dive site shotgun They don't allow using the hook. It is stupid because in komodo national park gloves is prohibited. So u can only use ur hand grab a sharply rock to against a strong current that u had never been and got injured. And there were only 2 toilet for the whole ship but i can understand. But one of the diveguide i think It is inappropriate to compete with guests for use of the toilet.He should use it before or after The guest. Because The time of guest using is very concentrated in some time. But these 2 little shortcoming is not influenced it that still a great liveaboard. And for the dive site. Everything is good except for the visibility. U can see bumped head parrotfish. Black and white Manta rays. Eagle rays. Blacktip whitetip sharks. Turtle. Jack storm. GT. And in northern area there were a strong current in shotgun. Vividly soft and hard coral in Batu bolong and crystal rock. Trust me. The best way of diving in komodo. Maybe it is the best.

Komodo = Sokaraja
Every second was the highlights. I enjoyed every moment of the trip. This is my first experience of a livaboard. I loved it! For Koreans, I recommend the affordable liveaboard Socaraza! It was my first liveaboard and it was not inferior at all, and the crew and guide are all very friendly.

World class diving made possible by superb dive guides know the sites - and importantly the tides!
So much diversity on dives - some were wild current with pelagics, mantas and sharks, some were as coral rich and diverse as Raja Ampat, each dive had amazing features… octopus play, cuttlefish mating, sharks hunting prey… weeks worth of dive experiences in 5 days. The Sokaraja has a great crew and wonderful spirit.

4 days of absolute dream
We've seen it all... repeatedly!Mantas, turtles, sharks, seahorse, corals,... nice excursions too. Perfect rhythm... 3 dives a day is enough. A few dives with quite a bit of current... which justify the advanced level with a little experience. Fantastic guide and team... Safety, freedom, professionalism, fun... The boss is great. Nothing but happiness. The value for money is incredible.
